At CES 2018, however, Google’s back in a big way. Its massive installation in the convention center parking lot includes a twirling slide and a ball pit. The company wallpapered the Vegas monorail in Google Assistant ads. You can barely turn around without seeing a “Hey Google” billboard reminding you of the power of the company’s voice-activated bot. The efforts feel like metaphor: Google Assistant is everywhere in Vegas because Google wants desperately for Assistant to be everywhere in your gadgets.

Google even announced big news at CES for the first time in a while. It’s all about Assistant, of course, Google’s attempt to get its virtual helper into more places and devices. The newest new thing is a line of “Smart Displays” built by JBL, LG, Lenovo, and Sony. These are dedicated Assistant devices, much like the Google Home, except these have screens as well.
